Nnamdi Kanu demands N5bn damages, apology from Malami, DSS
Who knows maybe Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho could turn to be our own Nigerian Mandela, I learnt that the best way to make peace is to engage a war, to me I don't see anything bad in expressing the fundamental human right into projection, they were both not terrorist and yet got arrested by our govt while none of the sponsors of bokohoram and herdsmen has been arrested.
The two freedom fighters both have international support and backup most especially Nnamdi, a new pace is going to be set come 2023, it's either we hold an election or the election not to hold. In this news thread, Nnamdi Kanu is yet agitating for law suit against malami, dss among other for denials to his fundamental human rights... Here's what his demand is:
Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has asked the High Court of Abia State to compel the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN); the Department of State Services and six others to pay him N5bn in damages being monetary compensation for the physical, mental, emotional, psychological and other damages suffered as a result of the alleged infringements of his fundamental rights.
Kanu, who is currently in DSS custody, filed the suit on Tuesday through his special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor.
The IPOB leader also secured an order from the High Court of Abia State to serve by substituted means an application for enforcement of the fundamental rights of Kanu.
Kanu contended that his rights have been infringed upon since 2017 when he fled the country due to an alleged threat to his life by security agents and after his extraordinary rendition to Nigeria from a foreign country recently.
